Healthy To-Do: Clean Out Your Medicine Cabinet
Whether we like it or not, cold and flu season is officially upon us. We do everything we can to strengthen our immune system and take care of our bodies with plenty of sleep and healthful food, but the germs often find their way in no matter how hard we try to keep them out. If you were lucky to dodge seasonal sicknesses last Winter than you probably have stale meds in your cabinet from the last time you were ill.
Take five minutes to go through your medicine cabinet and check the expiration date on every bottle or box. If you do happen to get sick, you won't waste your time or money going to the pharmacy to buy something you already have. Take this tip one step further by jotting down your medicine inventory on an index card so you're not forced to jog your memory in the midst of a killer cold headache.
